Have you always wanted to know how the nectar of plants becomes the “food of the gods”?

Thursday: The geopath excursion

Today‘s alpine landscape was once the home of mussels and primitive squid-like creatures. What once rested under deep blue water rose up onto the imposing peak that towered over a massive sheet of ice. So the Geological Circuit invites you on a fantastic journey – as you pass „stonelike witnesses“ on the way through the millenia. Discover the secrets of a world that gives us a peek into different dimensions of time together with geologist Georg Schnell. Walk through a grandiose alpine „stone garden“ in which magnificent flowers and herbs create fascinating contrasts to the rock and in which the Monzabon Lake is embedded like a sparkling diamond.
